Bugs Fixed: 

1) Dynamic Fields Visibility in Interactive Messages : Raise by 1 NGO OBLF

    When the `use dynamic fields option was enabled in an interactive message and saved, the details weren’t visible upon reopening the interactive message node.
    The dynamic fields only appeared after manually clicking the use dynamic field button again, which was causing confusion and disrupting the user experience.

    We solved this issue and made sure that once it is enabled and saved, the details should automatically be visible upon reopening the node, without requiring an additional click.

    2) Issue with Sync API for WhatsApp Groups:Raised by 1 NGO Madhi Foundation

    Previously, when changes were made in WhatsApp groups through the WhatsApp app, those changes needed to be reflected in Glific using the sync API.
    However, the sync function wasn’t working as expected, and clicking on sync did not update the changes in Glific.

    We have fixed the sync API to resolve this issue.

    3) Improved Auto-Sync Handling for Google Sheets : Raise by 2 NGO OBLF and KEF

    Earlier, if the auto-sync failed for one sheet, it would prevent to perform auto-sync for any of the subsequent sheets as well.
    To handle these failures more gracefully we implemented by sending a notification, on the notification tab in the left panel of Glific Account.
    This notification message will help the NGOs to review the sync failure notification later and manually trigger the sync when needed.



    New Feature/Enhancements/Done:

    1) Google Sheets Integration to Send Messages to WhatsApp Groups:

    This feature has been highly requested by many of our NGO partners using the WhatsApp Group. So you had asked for it, and we were determined to deliver it in our year-end release!

    Prior to this, NGOs using WhatsApp groups could only use the send_message node, this means they had to create separate flows for each different message.
    For example, if there were 100 messages, they would need to create 100 separate flows.

    With the new google sheets integration, NGOs can now send messages dynamically using just one flow.
    By reading data from a Google Sheet and mapping it to a key (such as a group variable like a counter or the group name), they can easily send personalised messages without creating multiple flows.
    We have put together a detailed documentation on this please do give it a read here
